Advanced IP Workflow: What They're Saying

Prior to IBC 2015, NewTek announced NewTek Advanced IP Workflow, a ground-breaking vision for the future of our industry based on our Network Device Interface (NDI®), a royalty-free open protocol for IP-based video production.

Leveraging investments most customers have already made in SDI cameras and standard Ethernet networks, Advanced IP Workflow makes it possible to exponentially increase the number of sources available for live production switching, without directly attaching to devices, changing locations, or investing in expensive, high-bandwidth networks that simply replace SDI-based workflows

NewTek worked closely with a large number of manufacturers and developers to allow IP connectivity between devices.

Here’s what some of them are saying.

“IP-based workflows represent a very important arm of the future of video production and the prospect of a unified IP video system as represented by NewTek’s open NDI protocol is very exciting. We’re pleased that NewTek will be supporting NDI on all our KONA, CORVID and Io product lines, opening up opportunities for their customers and ours to use existing infrastructure to rapidly engage in new workflow opportunities almost immediately.”

– Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems

“NewTek’s NDI protocol will greatly benefit and complement Brainstorm’s latest developments of our virtual studio and on-air graphics products as well as simplify the hardware requirements, resulting in cost reductions. A feature of NDI that we particularly like is that it facilitates the long distance transmission of content with embedded data. This capability is extremely useful for our TrackFree and augmented reality technology whereby a presenter can be ‘teletransported’ to a remote location and integrated into a live event.”

– Ricardo Montesa, Founder and CEO, Brainstorm Multimedia

CharacterWorks
